I would be more pissed if I had aftermarket rims. Especially some that are special order and take like 60-120 days to recieve. But sucks non the less.

Fix the wheel if you like your wheels.

When you replace your tires, get a set with a good rim protector lip.

I hit curbs on my stock 18" touring rims where my car went up the curb and it came out unscratched!!! I ran a yokohama avs sport tire on the wheel.

sorry for the bad news, but get a reputable rim refinishing place, it can be done at around 60 to 100 bucks. Take a look at G35driver.com, a fellow there used 60 bucks to repair the curb rash on his stock rim

good luck

WTF? I must have been through 1000 drive throughs in my life, and I've never had that happen. But I was pretty fat.

This is the lesson I would learn from this. I wont ever ever take my Z through drive-through, you never know if the attendant is going to drop something in your lap and the Z. And I am not lazy enough to not park and walk in to get my food.

I went to this place called Wheel Wizard and when the guy came out to look at it he quoted me a price of $205. I then asked him if that came with KY Jelly.
And he just gave me this stupid look. LOL

He also said that Nissan has not released the color code for that rim and that he would only be able to match it as close as possible.

I guess I'm going to have to take it to a couple Nissan body shops and see what they charge. I'm probably thinking around $175.00

Look at it this way, the rim should be fixed so a year from now or whenever you buy new wheels you can sell that set. If you don't fix it you will lose more in trying to sell three wheels.

4 months into having my wheels my lady needed to borrower my Z to run some errands and she curbed the front passenger wheel. It wasn't too bad but I would've exploded if I had a set of the 19inch Nismos or Volks.

Good luck getting it fixed!

This is another reason why I like Hiro's over the Volk GT-C's.

If I ever curbed a set of $2,300 wheels, I'd puke.

Man....I did the same thing today! I was turning into a gas station and I turned too much. The damage is probably half of what Diesel's is..but still damn annoying and frustrating. Car is 10 days old! I think I am gonna leave it as it then repair it once I cough up some change to blow. Anyone know if the rim color code has been released?
